A NEW BIDDER.
The brotherhood of Telsgrapher. NegoH

The brotherhood of TeIegraphsrs NegOti-
ating for the b. & 0. Telegraph Lines.
NEW YoEK, July 23.-A new bidderfor thu
Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph system hos
been brought to the surface here-the Broth
erhoOd OF Telegraphers of the United States.
Il Is asserted that representatives of this Or
ganization have offered s., Co., 900 for the
plant. The brOtherhOOd's offer Is to pay
$500, 600 cash on the acceptance of their
proposition and to pay the remaining 81
900 at the end Of six months. This
large sum 1t is proposed to raise by levying
upon each member of the brotherhood a
monthly assessment sufficient to
reach the aggregate amount wanted.
There are p, 600 members and the
leaders among them say they entertain no
doubt of their ability to thus raise the sum
required. The assessment paid by each mem
Der of the brotherhood would make him
a stakeholder IN the company and
a share IN It's profits, and 1t Is upon the zeal
bsgOtten of this interest and economy Of
working that they count upon being able to
run the property at a profit. The negOtia-
lions for the purchase Of the Baltimore q
Ohio have been conducted with
the greatest secrecy. humOr has
it that the Knights of Labor are lending a
helping hand in the transaction. A Co
operative telegraph company has long been
under consideration by such men as
John Campbell, the leader of the
telegraph strike Of 1888; John
Age; Shaw, of St. Louis; Morris, of Chica-
90; Buckley, Quick and Tom O'Reiiley, of
this city, and many other PROMINENT mem
bers of the profession. 1t Is learned that
5le eoln4l ~ nav lng , charge o. ale
consists of Tom O'Reiuy, Edward Quick,
John B. Taltavall and Edward Buckley. An
other idea in connection with 1t IS to make
membership IN the brotherhood 50 desirable
as to bring in the remaining p, 900 members
of the craft

A NEBRASKA HANGING.

Holman, the Missouri Pacific Train
Wreeker. Swing on for His Crime.
NEBRAsKA CITY, NEE, July 22.-David
Hoffman was hanged here to-day for wreck
ing the Missouri Pacific passenger train on
the night of the lIth of January last at
Dunbar, a small station on the Missouri
Pacific, ten miles west of this place. AT the
time of the wreck Engineer De Witt was in
stantly killed and number of passengers
were seriously injured. Hoffman passed s
good night, having ~ early, and sleep
ing soundly all nig--. Lie ate a breakfast OF
fruit and a few delicacl e#, and assembled the
scahOld with a firm tread. He made an
effort to say something, but broke down.
The trap was sprung at 1924 and he was
strangled to death in eight minutes. His
body was cut down and turned over to the
county coroner. His confederate in the
train wrecking is serving ten years sentence
in the peniteniary, having turned states
evidence. The militia company was called
out to keep order, but everything passed of
quietly. Shailenberger, the tiendish child
murderer, during the hanging of Hoffman,
was very restless, having heard a current
rumOr that a mob was being formed IN the
country to clean out the jail. which has up TO
the present failed to materialiZe, although
some anxiety was felt as to what the night
may bring forth.

Iniunetion o ~.

NEW YORK, July % adge Barrett to-
day rendered his decision of Townsend,
Cox d Co., against Edward S. Stokes, the
United Lines Telegraph company, Dwight
Townsend, John Anderson, George Turn
bull, Edward Sallinger and the Farmers
Loan and Trust company. Tho suit grew
out of the purchase of the Bankers and
Merchants Telephone company by Mr.. Stokes
about two years ago. The plaintiffs
claim that at the time of sale they held
81, $4,000 worth of general mortgage bonds
of the company. They only asseuted to sell
on the understanding that the sale was for
the protection of the bond holders interests.
They assert that the reorganization commit
tee Of bOndhOldeEs afterwards agreed with
Mr.. Stokes to allow the United
Lines company to become the pos
SCISSOR Of S1,O00,OOO worth of securities
of the Bankers and Merchants company.
In consequence they asked the court to de-
eide that Mr.. Stokes bought the Bankers
and Merchants company for the benefit of
the bondhOlders and not for his personal
benefit; that Mr.. Stokes be required TO &C
count for his administration as trus-
tee of the reorganization committee
Of the bOndhOlders; that a receiver be ap-
pointed and that the Farmers Loan and
Trust company be eniOined from dispOsing
of the Bankers and Merchants securities in
its possession. Judge Barrett denied appli-
cation for a receiver, because 1t was un-
necessary, but says that Mr.. Stokes
Enthusiastically represented the or
ganiZatiOn committee in tbs purchase
of the Bankers and Merchants Telegraph
company. Judge Barrett grants an injunc-
ton pending the suit against securities
IN possession of the Trust company.

though the condemned woman was informed

A former minister Of Stewartown, in
the County of Ayr, Scotland, accord
ing to a recently published volume OF
"reminiscences, was wont to assist one
of his neighbors at least once a year,
and generally by preaching the Monday
sermon after the communion. Year
after year, on the same day he enter
tanned the flock Of his friend and neigh
Dor with the same sermon, the subject
being the parable Of the "Ten Virgins.
One day an old clerical friend, who had
often heard the sermon, hit the
preacher hard at the end Of the service
by saying, GOOD sermon, Mr.. --, but
your ten virgins must be getting pretty
auld maids by this time" It was a
word In season. The "ten virgins"
were no more heard Of in the same
connection.-NelU York Herald.

The force of bad example has its
illustration in governments as well as
in individuals. Thus, because France
and Germany are arming themselves
TO the teeth, and increasing the taxes
upon the people In order to meet the
expenses thereof, little Belgium must
needs go and do Likewise. The prime
minister desires to strengthen the for
tresses on the Meuse River. Probably
Italy, Greece, and Switzerland VIII N
due time follow, and thus the conti-
nent, before the end Of the year, VIII
be a vast camp. Such a strain as this
must exhaust the resources of any PEG
pie, and weaken them, even in times Of
peace. Even a war could not be much
worse IN draining the resources Of any
nation than such an armed neutrality
as prevails at present In Europe.
